Unlike traditional health insurance, long-term care insurance is designed to cover long-term services and supports, including personal and custodial care in a variety of settings such as your home, a community organization, or other facility.

Long-term care insurance policies reimburse policyholders a daily amount (up to a pre-selected limit) for services to assist them with activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, or eating. You can select a range of care options and benefits that allow you to get the services you need, where you need them.

The cost of your long-term care policy is based on:

▪How old you are when you buy the policy

▪The maximum amount that a policy will pay per day

▪The maximum number of days (years) that a policy will pay

▪The maximum amount per day times the number of days determines the lifetime maximum amount that the policy will pay.

Any optional benefits you choose, such as benefits that increase with inflation.
